OREGON CITY, Or., Jan. 30. (Spe cial.) There was free discussion of the Statement of Master Fish Warden II. C. McAllister that the Oregon Legis lature overlooked the closing of the Willamette River from March 1 to May 1. last night at the mass meeting of the fishermen of Oregon City and vi cinity, and the Warden was criticised .for statements that the fishermen de clare unfounded. Warden McAllister was quoted as saying that the fisheries committee of the Oregon Legislature forgot to include the Willamette River In the bill agreed upon by the Legisla tures of Oregon and Washington pro viding for a close season on the Co lumbia River. Error, Jones Insists. Representative Linn E. Jones in flated that Mr. McAllister was in error. Mr. Jones was a member of the House committee on fisheries and was present at the hearing held at Salem during the last legislative session. "McAllister agreed to leave the Wil lamette River alone." said Mr. Jones, last night, "and he knew that the elim ination of the tributaries of the Co lumbia from the bill was made with a complete knowledge of conditions." "Mr. McAllister has stated that Ore gon would break faith vith the Wash ington fishermen by leaving the Wil lamette and Clackamas open," said Oeorge Brown, who represented the local fishermen's union here today, "and that In this event it would be impos sible to obtain joint legislation from Oregon and Washington in the future. In view of the fact that the Washing ton Legislature was In session two weeks later than the Oregon Legisla ture, this statement is peculiar. Mem bers of the Washington Legislature; must have known the provisions of the Oregon bill before they adjourned." Sportsmen Will Itcslst Ruling. Not only the gill net fishermen, but the anglers, as well, are prepared to fight the edict of the State Board of Kish Commissioners. The Board's or der closes the Willamette and Clack amas to every kind of fishing for sal mon and shuts out hundreds of sports men from Portland and Oregon City who had royal times last Spring in the latter part of April and the early part of May. Representatives of the hook and line fishermen, were present at last night's meeting, as were Portland fish dealers. The law provides a close season for the Columbia of two and one-half months of the. year and the close sea son of the Willamette and Clackamas is seven months. The ordinary close season for this territory is from March 15 to April 15, and from June 15 to November 1, when the river is opened until March 15. If the Board of Fish Commissioners is successful in making its order effective, local fishermen may go out on the river from May 1 to June 15, when the back water from the Columbia makes it impossible to fish with success, as the fishermen are unable to use their gear. M'AIXISTKU DEXIKS PROMISE 'I'lalnly Misunderstanding," Master Warden Replies to Critics. Master Fifh Warden McAllister, last right denied emphatically that he ever liad promised the Willamette River flshsr men he would "leave the Willamette River alone" and not extend to that stream the same provisions as to salmon fishing which are enforced against t'ae Columbia River fishermen. Mr. McAllis ter further said that the construction which had been placed on his remarks by the dissatisfied fishermen at Oregon City wasv'alnly the result of a mlsunder standing on their part. "In the Oregon Legislature last Winter," paid Mr. McAllister, "the bill providing for uniform legislation for the protection of tne salmon Industry In the Columbi River, as1 It was approved by the joint fisheries committee of Oregon and Wash ington, .. was Introduced in the Senate. When the bill had passed that body. It was sent over to the House, where it was referred to the Judiciary committee. Rep resentatives Jones and Dlmlck, of Clacka mas County, appeared before that com inittee and It was not until then that we discovered the words, 'and tributaries, :had been omitted from the bill. Bill Iut In Jeopardy. "These members of the Clackamas1 dele gatlon asked me If the bill as it stood would apply to the Willamette and the Clackamas rivers. I told them that it would not. They also asked If I proposed to have the missing words Inserted so that the provisions of the bill would extend to the two streams in which they were Interested. I replied by telling them that since the pension was drawing near its close. I would not jeopardize the chances of the bill by offering any amendments which would necessitate sendng the meas ure back to the Senate. "At the same time, however, I did ex plain to Jones and Dlmlck that there wag then pending before the fisheries commit tee In the House another bill which estab lished for the Willamette and Clackamas rivers the same closed seasons as were provided for the Columbia River in the bill that had passed the Senate. I said that by securing the enactment of that bill, the necessity for amending the origi nal measure would be obviated. This bill, however, was killed in the fisheries committee, of which Mr. Jones was a member. The result was that the fisher men on the Willamette and Clackamas rivers continued to enjoy the privilege of fishing for 30 days in March and April when the fishermen on the Columbia wer forbidden by law to operate. Effort Made to Keep Faith. "The order of the State Board of Fish rommtssioners. which becomes effective March 1. applies to all kinds of fishing en the Willamette and Clackamas, In cluding angling, during the same seasons Pf the year that fishing on the Columbia Is prohibited. In making this order the board is merely striving to keep faith with the Washington authorities . It is futile to undertake to protect the salmon by enforcing the law only on the Co lumbia River and at the same time allow fishermen .to operate on Its tributaries. That is the only reason the board has made the order which doss not work any ULs crimination, axalnat tiia Wlllamettn tJf 'V;. tt'-h X : " 1 I - k ' " t L v '1 -f T f AL 'J 1 i Mrs. Barbara Barnes.
